MY LORD, isclna, July g, :1809. In my dispatch of the sth instant, I had the. ho nour of stating .to . your Lordship, that Lieut.-Col onel SMith had been detached after our sailing from Milazzo,with the loth regiment and Chasseurs,Brit tanniques, which were to be joined at the Faro by the 2 Ist regiment, with orders to occupy and dis arm the posts upon the Streight oppoSite to Messina, upon the late retreat of the enemy upon the first ap pearanc,t of our armament upon the coast, Of Calahria. An attempt tOreduce the Castle of Scylla was at tended; in the first instance, with disappointmtnt, fiorn the sudden re-appearance of a large , prdpon derating force of the enemy, which constrained Lieutennt,ColOnel Smith to . raise the .siege, - and embark for Messina ; a measure which wa ie ff e. aed, I am happy to. say, on the 29th ult. witiloikt. .fhe smallest hiss, but that of his besieging train, which necessarily becarne a sacrifice: It fortunately, hover ever, has proved only a' sacrifice 'of the mcinetit.— The otlitiarrepOrts from Major-Ortieral Macken zie state to, use, that un.the night of tho 2d instant, the enemy - , from some sadden panic, retreated again from the coast, previously blown up the -works of Scylla, and not ortly left us again our,cap tured stores, but an immense-quantity of ordnance and stores of their own; wlich had been placed in depot. Major-General Maclenzie mentions to une in particular that thirty pieces of brass caution had been thrown from the rock into the sea, from whglic,e, however, -there could no.difliculty - in raising.theni, the water being extremely sharoW. These stores had been prow essively asembhug, am informed, by means of coasting um igation, for a •con;siderable time past, as preparatory to the long menaced, and I believe really intended itivasion of the Kingdom of Sicily: • The conduct oi . L.ientenant-Colonel Smith, di ing -the-course-cu this servin; `vittliougli attended with a momentary reverse, - has been representeo„to me by Major-General M'ackenzie in terms of great-34ra bation, with every praise to the teal and. f *rsever- . mice of the troops employed under-....his ordets..• He has aisle) expressed great ricknowledguvnts to the. ae five assistance of C.tptains Crawley and l'oltir,r; of his - Majesty's ships.

I' have the pleasure to inform lour Lordship, that I sailed from Jamaica on the 7th ultizno,, , with the troops as per margin --and landed' at Polingue, the nearest landing place, thirty. Miles distant' front the City of St. Domingo, on the ‘.:l3th inst. when I immediately . proceede4 to reconnoitre the forts and fortifications, which was cornplet:Ay etfeEled on the 29th, and fully satisfied the that the wails and bastions were assailable by coup-de;trlain ; and, considering the garrison, who had brayely . fended them 161 a constant siege of eight tountbs,-. it appeared to me that prompt and decisive, Oeasl.-4-c,s- • were most prudent before a gzklrdat enemy, and` would obviate the evil elFed of open (reneheS- in the .rainy season, the only foe to be (Area/14(1bl,- this4Corps„ and which nai already made. a severe . impreisiOn On - the Spanish natin es of the country, 400 ouvor th.)o of their best regiment being renciLßct unfa:fOr ser vice, and would probably he attended,. with more' mortality to the British troops, than 0 conflia u - pon the walls. • • His Excellency Gen. Sanchez - , from whom I met on the 30th ult. - the - most kind and cordial reception, „being very sick some iiMe before, .and, f arm' grieved to say, stillco'i . itinnes so by fatigue and livi;n - diSease, ordered the Spanish troops at the . difierent posts to execute any dtreetionS . given by.. me„ 7luch thee_ cheerfully performed by a forward , movement mediately, and efithlually cutting oil the communi .catien bet Ween the city of Si. Do t -bingo, and the Strong fortress nf Fort Jerome, which, .by- covering the only landing place ; prevented our communicat ing with the squadron. • Having the same evening refused the French nerat s application for .an trmist,ce.., as by inclosures No.• 1. 2, an d 3, I advanced with a detachMeht of the Spaniards to the Church of Saint Carlos - , and eszlibli,hed thy quarters there within musket-shot of •, the city, confident that the British troops would be with us that night, which, however, was rendered imPratticable, by heay and ince,sanr rain, until the following night of the Ist; after suffering the great est fatigue and privations, dragging the, held pieces on bad roads, and dreadful, weather,: and, passages . of rivers, ,without proper conveyance. The Ist of July I received • another Letter from General Barnuier, Nr-4' 4 , , answered by No 5, - al lowing him uwil twelve 'the next day for an an . _ swer.. In conscqn,mce of a continual fire of . musketry from the 'walls, "-whilst , the white'flag was tip, I moved forward with a 'party of dragoons, and sent an Aid-de-Camp to *demand the cause, who was very politely received, and assured by General Bar (Fier, that the' inhabitants were firing at iibmerse 'numbers of wild pigeons hying over the walls, but that.he would give-strict orders , for it to cease dur ing the suspension olhostilities. On the insrmt - I.received a letter, No. G, froth General 'Barquier, respecting .the movement of the. troops. to Saint Carlos,- which had been occupied on the 30th ult-, when his overture for negociation . was rejee.led ; answered by No. 7. On the 3d the Commissionert; for 'the Capitulation met ; those on the part of 'the Freneh.haVing declared that their instiuttions were posili‘ely not to consent to surrender, which I also • understood by . prisoners and intercepted letters, anti as I did not consider myself justifiable to admitting any other terms, the meeting adjourned_ until a come munication could be had with the commander of the naval. foices. In Onsegtitnee of bad weather, the answer was not received until the 6th instant,' which perle , cily coincided w"ph my opinion as, to the only terms that could be granted to the enemy. ' I was also in-, formed that the. River Huila had merflowed its Banks, and we were thus separated from the greater parr of the .ordnance stores and our provisions,' which further deterthined me to bring the matter to immediate issue, as I stated. to Captain Cumby,' and requested that cooperation in armed 'SCamen, munitipn, atld plovi,iion4, rv►hid7 I found him ever ready most cordially to afford. • With humble submission-to the Almighty dispoger of events, full confidence in a just catt r se,•and 11:arts to maintain it, I wrote the letter, No.'S, to be delivered to'Generai !largo:ler, on the french garrison again' refusing to lay down their - arms ; an.t ilnmediatcly mad e 1 he'folowing_disposition : . first igede under the command of Lieute. nant-Colonel HorS(ord, who \ preferred that-Com mand Co the duty of Deputy-Adjutant General.
